Foodies, listen up. We’re digging into the heart of Charlotte’s steak scene, and we want you to dish out your hot takes: Which restaurant is the best steakhouse in the city?

As part of our annual Readers’ Choice awards, we’re looking to crown the Queen City’s ultimate steak spot — based on your recommendations for the most mouthwatering meal.

Whether it be a classic establishment or a creative new concept, give us your nominations for who’s the ultimate champion of the grill.

If you’ve got more than one favorite steakhouse, refresh the page and add another nomination. You can also email us at charlottefive@charlottefive.com.

*Note: As we are looking for smaller, local spots, chain restaurants that have more than 25 locations worldwide, as well as past CharlotteFive Readers’ Choice winners, will be excluded from winning the poll.
